International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET) ISSN: 2321-9653; IC Value: 45.98; SJ Impact Factor: 7.538 Volume 10 Issue V May 2022- Available at www.ijraset.com Above pictures shows that there is good bonding between components of concrete in 3D view. Void spaces and cracking of concrete can be seen under Scanning electron microscope. Some nanosized cracks and void spaces formed which can be neglected. Lighter area of picture shows bump or convexity for that area, and dark portion shows flat surface. Therefore uniformity in 85% of portion which shows consistent hard solid concrete. From all test results shows that M25 concrete can be used in light reinforcement structures but due to the use of 9% RHA as a partial replacement of cement compressive strength increase by 10% so RHA can be used in some high-rise construction with higher mix proportions. By using CS in concrete strength decrease, but concrete made with 12.5% CS gives 7% less strength, so that it can be used in light reinforced to no reinforced structures. Example- parapet walls, compound walls, partition walls, dividers in road, etc. But the concrete which uses both RHA and CS gives somewhat greater strength than concrete uses only CS. Therefore it can be used for the construction of less reinforced to no reinforced structures which carries very less load. V. CONCLUSIONS Conclusion drown from the experimental test are as follows:From the experimental result shows thatA. RHA as partial replacement of cement 1) 9% utilization of RHA in the replacement of cement gives near about 15% increasing the compressive strength. 2) Increase in percentage of RHA as a cementitious material gives rise to decrease in absorption of concrete i.e. up to 12% decrease for 9% RHA mix at 28th day. 3) Workability of this type of concrete decreases with increase in percentage of RHA. 4) SCM test shows RHA powder has a large amount of silica with which will give pozzolanic action and increases the strength. B. CS as partial replacement of coarse aggregates 1) 25% CS as a replacement of coarse aggregate gives optimum results more than that affects the strength. Up to 25% CS in concrete gives less decrease in strength i.e. up to 13% to 15% than control mix, but more percentage decreases compressive strength vigorously. 2) Use of CS pieces of proper size (i.e. 20 mm nominal size) as a partial substitute of coarse aggregates result is that, if CS used equal to or greater than 25% by weight of coarse fraction produces lightweight concrete. 3) Water absorption of concrete increases with increase in coconut shell percentage. For 25% CS used in concrete 20% increase in water absorption. 4) Workability increases with increase in coconut shell percentage. C. Both RHA as partial replacement of cement and CS as partial replacement of coarse aggregates in concrete 1) 9% utilization of RHA in the replacement of cement along with 25% CS as a replacement of coarse aggregates gives 8% to 10% decrease in compressive strength. 2) Workability increases with increase in coconut shell percentage with same RHA percentage. 3) Water absorption also increases with increase in percentage of RHA and CS. Which may reduce strength. But we can use 9% RHA and 12.5% CS with 3% of water absorption for construction in less rainy area and away from water source. 4) SCM test shows that RHA and coconut shell produces bond with each other as one is water repellent and other one is water absorbent which leads to increases compressive strength than that of only CS in concrete. D. General Conclusions 1) Use of coconut shell and Rice husk ash reduces the environmental burden of decomposition of organic waste and also reduces pollution generated by it. 2) With the use of Rice husk ash and Coconut shell in concrete deducts the use of cement and aggregates respectively. Which helps in conservation of natural resources. 3) Cost of construction will get reduced without compromising with strength. 4) Weight of concrete also get reduced and it leads to light weight concrete. 5) Aim of reduction of pollution and conservation of nature get fulfilled so that this project helps in green and sustainable development
